    Hi everyone, thanks to everyone that completed and fed back through our earlier survey. We appreciate you sharing needs in sequential invoice numbering and will continue to consider these needs as we evolve invoicing in Xero.

    Right now, we want to be upfront that there are no direct changes planned for how invoice numbers are assigned.

    We'll keep monitoring interest of this here and will update if there are any developments.

    This idea has been here for 9 months but it is a critical issue especially in some jurisdictions like the Philippines where TAX invoices must be sequential AND chronological. If number are missing or out of sequence, the Tax authority will ask a lot of questions.

    My suggestion is that the sequence number is only added to the document upon FINAL approval and sending. Prior to that it should be in draft mode and we don't really care what the nuber is at that stage.

    I believe this simple approach would help ALL customers.

    Thank you
